Annual Financial Checkup Workbook
Here is my latest resource! This was inspired while trying to get my busy young adult son to find time to sit with me and review some financial steps that might be beneficial for him. This was difficult during a time when he was going to school, working, and interning, so he did not have a lot of downtime. I decided to create a list that would give the information I wanted him to know and help guide him in his financial decisions when he was ready. This list quickly turned into a workbook. I hope this will be a resource my children can easily review each year, guide them in their choices to help make a plan that best fits their circumstances and goals, and help them track their progress toward financial independence.
While I created it with my children in mind, I wanted to share it with anyone else who may find value in this as well.
This workbook may seem overwhelming at first, especially if you’re new to any financial steps, but remember that this resource is designed to be taken one step at a time. Focus on the smaller, manageable steps rather than the big picture. Keep in mind that not every step may apply to you, or they may not apply to you at every stage in life. This workbook should get easier to go through each year as you start making financial decisions based on your unique goals.
Personal Finances are Personal.
